One reason: occasionally it forgets it's Monk-but-a-girl and tries to swing WAY above its weight class in trying to Say Things about Different People.

This might be the most blatant bit of product placement I've seen in a detective show. They frame a 40 second B-plot scene as if the Amazon Prime Next Day Delivery™ package is a third family member in this conversation about an autistic kid being picked on.

one like = one lukewarm or hot take on horror.

I love High Potential because it will go from being a perfectly competent-looking ABC procedural to the worst greenscreen you've seen in years. Like so bad you've seen small YouTubers do better.

What with all the news about MTA repairs, a new line from Brooklyn to Queens, and Mamdani fixing the Williamsburg bridge bike ramp, it's a perfect time to put on THE TAKING OF PELHAM ONE TWO THREE (1974).

Just soak in the atmosphere of an almost politically polar opposite NYC.
A horizontal poster for The Taking of Pelham 123, in which a map of the NYC subway system has an illustration of a subway train stopped in a tunnel sweeping across the page. In the front door of the car stands a man in a trenchcoat and hat holding a submachine gun. The tagline reads "before this train reaches the next station it will become the scene of the most spectacular hijack ever attempted"

I have a scar on my left leg because in Spring 1998 I was given this A Bug's Life toy. The next day I had to take the trash out.

When I swung the bag past my leg for counter-balance, the razor-sharp opened blister packaging cut through the bag and my shin enough to need stitches.

Kicking off 2026 right: in an AMC that was absolutely devastated yesterday so they're out of most concessions.

Oh my god, the life leaving his eyes when he realizes he's fucked.

Okay I was poking fun at the whole soup kitchen comedy scene but this premise of Columbo trying to interrogate a DMV employee who's in a bad mood and ends up nitpicking his driving is PRETTY fuckin' funny

I think we can all agree Peter Falk is a good-looking dude but raggedy Peter Falk with a five o' clock shadow? Hoo-boy.

Gotta love when day-for-night was just "under-expose the film"
a day-for-night shot from Columbo that's clearly just daytime footage of Falk walking up to a motel

It seems I've changed the channel to Diagnosis: Murder.

Ah hah. Hee hee.

First huge fuckup of the plan: this buffoon almost shot himself in the femoral artery trying to frame his fall-guy.
DVD clutching his leg tight with a gloved hand, a cartoonishly orange blood seeping out from beneath his fingers because this is NBC in 1974 and you can't show realistic blood on TV

We used to be a civilized society where you needed to keep crime-committing devices in a briefcase instead of using your damn phone for all of it.

Love the detail that as soon as he shoots her he dissociates as he enters a different mindset immediately.

Not to point fingers at the intoxicated wife being attacked but she truly does have the survival instincts of an unconscious infant.

I'm gonna jump ahead in Columbo a tad to finally watch the episode where Dick Van Dyke is the villain of the month.
